Sauna in the vicinity of Stockholm by General Architecture

The Stockholm-based General Architecture designed a small sauna on one of the tens of thousands of islands in the suburbs of the Swedish capital. The simple structure with a gabled roof is clad in larch boards both outside and inside. The overall layout of the house revolves around a central fireplace. The larger portion of the layout serves as a relaxation area, while the remaining part is divided between the sauna, bathroom, and an outdoor storage space. When the sauna is not in use, it can be completely closed off with wooden shutters, instantly transforming it into an impregnable fortress with an archetypal expression.
